Doc, did you see this benchmark with new RTS game "Rise of Legends" at Anandtech?

We ran with the resolution set to 1600 x 1200 and the graphics settings set to the medium defaults


:o

That's frigging nuts...

seems the E6300 overclocking is not limited by the CPU , but by the chipset, as most motherboards have trouble reaching insane high FSB speeds to go with the low 7x multiplier of this CPU. X-Bit Labs has good a good read on that here: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu...o-e6300_8.html

massive...
it will weigh down at 1920*1200 but nevertheless it's massive...

latest addition Firingsquad http://firingsquad.com/hardware/inte...2_performance/ shows benchies at 800x600 and 1600x1200 and higher (with Crossfire) - as you expect, games at 1600x1200 are GPU limited

Still, a 50% overclock is not too shabby, even if it's rather chipset limited than processor limited.
